    They're still the least worst option. How did we get here?

    Maybe that should be Obama's 2012 campaign slogan:

    "I'm the least worst option."

    Very inspiring.

    If the republicans were able to put up a viable candidate, then Obama's days might be numbered. Unfortunatley, they are unable to field a serious candidate acceptable to most Americans. Instead they bare busy fighting amongst themselves over political idealogy. Maybe the Libertarieans are on to something afterall.

    LOL, they're still blaming Bush. They will never blame a democrat. That goes aganst there programming. Drones like this are completely closed minded to the truth. Obama and the democrats could be in power a hundred years, be a zillion trillion dollars in debt, the unemployment rate at 25%, and guys like this will still say, "Obama is great, all the problems are Bush's fault"

    No they're not. They are the MOST worst option, and I'm an Independent.

    We got here by too many of us thinking that the Democrats are the least worst option, and by too many of us thinking that the Republicans are good enough.

    Obama has increased the national debt by about 67%.

    He has a long way to go to match Bush who doubled it or Reagan, who tripled it...or 300%.....he's trying, but lagging in pace..........


    I would like to see the trend reverse which is why I'm considering voting for Ron Paul if he is the nominee.

    How much in actual dollars? How about percent GDP? Reagan also requested LESS spending each and every year than Congress authorized and they failed to pass all the recessions he issued. How about Obama is asking for more or less spending that Congress wants to give him?
